He said: “One day last month over 1600 planes were in the air going from the United States overseas to some war theater.” Of course, that was just one particular day, and a big one. But even so, that’s good. In fact, that’s swell! Then Gen. Arnold went on: He told how the Army Air Force and the RAF saved our men at Salerno. And how, in doing it, we had to scrape the bottom of the barrel. How we had to use every plane in North Africa—how we had to gather planes from every training center, depot and modification center to do the trick. He said the Italian invasion “would have been easier with more planes—and could not have been done with less.” He talked about the American raids on Germany. On one, 24 big Fortresses didn’t come home. On another, 35. On another, 27. On another, 21. And since he talked, 60 bombers—and their gallant crews—went down in a single raid. No one can attempt to evaluate their loss in dollars or the loss to the enemy in destruction of war materials needed by him to carry on the war. But planes cost dollars to produce—millions of dollars. Then he pointed again to the obvious‘fact that the Italian fight ‘‘is a small engagement compared to the gigantic expedition which one day, and we hope not too many months hence, will be set against continental Europe.” In short, if a fact was ever made crystal- clear, Gen. Arnold made this one: What we're doing now is good—BUT STILL NOT NEARLY ENOUGH! And that goes for our building, for our fighting—and for the War Bond buying that makes the building and fighting possible. Coming soon is a day when, with one mighty effort, we’re going to smash into Hitler’s Europe and bury Germany under an overwhelming mass of men, equipment— and all the materials that money can buy. And to do it we've got to boost our War Bond buying. We've got to buy more Bonds and more Bonds and more Bonds right up to the final minute when the Nazi and Jap flags go down into the dust— for good! .
